What the shape is

Three troughs at roughly the same level, the mirror of a triple top. Like its counterpart it never occurred in this dataset at the default thresholds.

  • These figures describe past occurrences of the same shape. They are not a projection of this chart.
  • 661 formations is not a large sample, and the instruments are correlated USDT pairs, so the effective sample is smaller still.
  • Below 30 examples no rate is printed at all.
  • Changes are close-to-close and exclude fees, funding and slippage.
  • Medians and quartiles pooled across instruments are sample-weighted approximations, not exact pooled quantiles.
  • A formation is timed from the bar its break became observable, and every change is measured strictly after that bar.
  • Pooled across every instrument and both backtest timeframes.

The same shape, split by interval

The backtest covered the daily and 4-hour intervals only. Only one shape reaches the publication floor on the daily, against eight on the 4-hour — so every pooled rate above is in practice a 4-hour statistic. The console scans five intervals; the three not listed here have no historical record at all.

How it is detected

Formations are matched against swing pivots rather than raw bars, so a single spiky candle cannot create one. A pivot is committed only once price reverses by more than 2.5 times ATR(14), floored at 0.8% of price. A detection is reported only at confidence 0.72 or above — the library default, unmodified.
